Setting Up and Using a Cisco Unified IP Phone as a Cisco IPICS Push-to-Talk Device

Cisco IPICS provides the Cisco IPICS service, which allows several Cisco Unified IP Phone models to communicate on PTT channels and participate in channels and VTGs.

Before a user can access the Cisco IPICS service, Cisco IPICS must be configured as a phone service for Cisco Unified Communications Manager or for Cisco Unified Communications Manager Express. In addition, users in a deployment that includes Cisco Unified Communications Manager must subscribe to the Cisco IPICS service by using the Cisco Unified Communications Manager User Options application.

The total number of Cisco Unified IP Phones, LMR and multicast ports, PMC clients, dial users, and ops views cannot exceed the number that is specified in your Cisco IPICS license. For more information about licenses, see the
